# Bright Data Security Basics

## Overview

Security best practices for Bright Data zone credentials, API tokens, and webhook delivery. Bright Data credentials include Customer ID, zone passwords, and API tokens — all must be protected.

## Prerequisites

- Bright Data zones configured
- Understanding of environment variables
- Access to Bright Data control panel

## Instructions

### Step 1: Credential Inventory

| Credential | Scope | Rotation | Storage |
|-----------|-------|----------|---------|
| Customer ID | Account-wide | Never changes | Can be in config |
| Zone Password | Per-zone | Rotate quarterly | Secrets vault only |
| API Token | Account-wide | Rotate quarterly | Secrets vault only |
| SSL Cert (`brd-ca.crt`) | Public | Auto-renewed | Can be in repo |

### Step 2: Environment Variable Security

```bash
# .env (NEVER commit)
BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID=c_abc123
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE=web_unlocker1
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD=z_pass_xyz
BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN=abc123def456

# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local

# .env.example (safe to commit — no real values)
BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID=
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE=
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD=
BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN=
```

### Step 3: Zone Isolation by Environment

Create separate zones per environment so staging credentials cannot access production proxy bandwidth:

```typescript
// config/brightdata.ts
const ZONE_MAP = {
  development: 'web_unlocker_dev',
  staging: 'web_unlocker_staging',
  production: 'web_unlocker_prod',
} as const;

export function getZone(): string {
  const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
  return process.env.BRIGHTDATA_ZONE || ZONE_MAP[env] || ZONE_MAP.development;
}
```

### Step 4: Credential Rotation

```bash
# 1. Create new API token in Bright Data CP > Settings > API tokens
# 2. Update secrets in your deployment platform
# Vercel
vercel env rm BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN production
vercel env add BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN production

# AWS
aws secretsmanager update-secret --secret-id brightdata/api-token --secret-string "new_token"

# 3. Test new credentials
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${NEW_TOKEN}" \
  https://api.brightdata.com/zone/get_active_zones

# 4. Revoke old token in Bright Data CP
```

### Step 5: Git Secret Scanning

```bash
# Pre-commit hook to catch leaked credentials
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/bash
if git diff --cached | grep -iE '(BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD|BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN)=.{5,}'; then
  echo "ERROR: Bright Data credentials detected in staged changes"
  exit 1
fi
```

### Step 6: Webhook Delivery Security

When using webhook delivery for Web Scraper API results:

```typescript
// Validate webhook came from Bright Data
function validateWebhookSource(req: Request): boolean {
  // Bright Data sends from known IPs — check docs for current list
  // Also validate the Authorization header you configured
  const authHeader = req.headers.get('Authorization');
  return authHeader === `Bearer ${process.env.BRIGHTDATA_WEBHOOK_SECRET}`;
}
```

## Security Checklist

- [ ] Zone passwords in environment variables, never hardcoded
- [ ] `.env` files in `.gitignore`
- [ ] Separate zones per environment (dev/staging/prod)
- [ ] API tokens rotated quarterly
- [ ] Pre-commit hook blocks credential leaks
- [ ] Webhook endpoints validate Authorization header
- [ ] HTTPS-only for all proxy connections
- [ ] `brd-ca.crt` downloaded (public cert, safe in repo)

## Error Handling

| Issue | Detection | Mitigation |
|-------|-----------|------------|
| Leaked zone password | Git scanning, log monitoring | Rotate immediately in CP |
| Leaked API token | Secret scanning | Revoke in CP, create new token |
| Unauthorized zone usage | Billing alerts | Check zone activity logs |
| Proxy abuse | Unusual bandwidth spikes | Review zone usage in CP |

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
